Thanks for all your comments. In all fairness to my subject, he was just warming up his service motion (therefore the ball in his hand)

I learned a lot from taking the shots and from your comments. Collectively you outline the important aspects of action/sports photography.

Nice idea, but the front would be the POV. Great sports photography looks like this, but the facial expressions make the image.

I feel that this is cropped too tightly, try standing further back to get the whole of the man in frame. Also I think capturing the player as he throws the ball in to the air and moves the racket to strike it, would be a more pleasing pose.

A wonderful demonstration of when a person is too old and out of shape to server normally, adn has to alter his serve to compensate. I like the composition and feeling of motion.

You selected an excelent topic for your submission: the moving tennis racket works really good. To me the image looks a little grainy though and not crisp on the parts that should be well focused. Good luck.

Not a bad shot but would have like to see all of his arm. You did meet the challenge. Good luck.
